I'm fine with a general policy of you being able to port trunk changes
over to the '1.5.x-issue2489' branch just so you can work. I'm not sure
we need a more general policy than that.

It would be very helpful for there to be a README.branch file on the
branch; +1 in advance on committing one :-). As we make user-visible
and developer-visible changes, we could update CHANGES on the branch, or
do it on trunk when we port the branch over. I don't think it matters
much either way.
